The steamer umbria. with William

Outside on Account Of the Fog.
New YORK Max

NEW YORK, May 9.
The steamship Umbria, with William
OBrien, editor of United Ireland. on board,
vas unable TO cross the bar At high water,
this morning, on account of fog. and will now
remain al anchor outside until 6 O'Clock this
evening. When this news was communicat-
ed to the reception committee, who went ear
iy to the Cunard pier to greet the distin-
guished passengers, they at once engaged
steamboat which will take them out to the
steamer about noon
The committee in waiting to see O'frieu.
the Irish agitator, seem TO have a hard time
In fnding steamboat to take them 10 the
outer harbor, through the dense fog, which
has prevailed all day over the Narrows.
Should the committee be successful in getting
boat, they will then 60 below the Anarsn-
tine, and if the Umbria can be fonnd, they
will bring the famous editor back with them.
The fog was so thick at Sandy Hook that the
operator could not see the beach. The prob
ability is that O'Brien cannot be reached to-
day, as the vessel c'nnot cross the bar be.
tore sunset and not then unless the fog Lifts.
Up TO O'Clock the committee were unable
to procure boat To take them 10 the outer
harbor where the Umbria is anchored in a
fog. 1t is doubtful if O'Brien will land TO-
day.
The "Wm. Fletcher" one of the Castle
Garden fleet, succeeded in finding the Cunard
steamer Umbria after an eight hours search
She started last night to secure the mails at
eight O'Clock, and discovered the Umbria an
chored about halt mile outside the bar
Sings were used to transfer the mails The
fog is still thick and the Umbria will not ar.
rive today.
The Cnnard Steamship Umbria arrived of
the bar l3 o'clock Saturday night and has
been Obliged to remain there ever since. If
the fog lifts tomorrow she can 90 over the
bar at high tide, between 9 and 10, and reach
her pier about noon.
lhe mails were taken off today by
steamer sent from the city, but owing to the
health regulations no passengers could be
taken of at that time. Among the 247 cabin
passengers are Mrs. Lawrence Barrett and
daughter, Bishop Ireland and VIM. O'Brien.
Tonight the density of the fog is increased.

VIRGINlA'S DEBT.
The Proposition OF the BOndholders Rep.
resestatives Rejected by the Legisla.
tive Committee.
RICHMoNp Va Nav

RICHMOND, Va, Mays.
The joint conference on the State debt
ended today. The subcommittee of the
Virginia debt commissioners had q three
hours session tonight and agreed upon a re-
port to be presented to the general assembly
tomorrow. From this it appears that the last
proposition of the bondholder's representa-
tive vas that they should have the principal
sum of S26 ,937 900. This amount was
reached by deducting from the debt of the
State the Riddleberger bonds held by the
State amounting to S2,240,0 900, the bonds
comprised in the literary fund amounting to
81, ,l79 900, bonds held by the board of public
works $l63, 900, debt due the U. s. govern
ment 81, 800 900, and further deduction Of
g., ,629 900. being ten per cent, of the
States debt, the evidence of which they
claimed had been lost and for which no de.
mand would probably be made in the future.
In addition they demanded in cash from the
State 81 ,002 ,0O0 being 40 per cent of 60 per
cent of the arrearages of interest on the con-
sui and l0-40 debt. They also demanded
that the new bonds should be exempted from
all taxation, State county or corporation,
that coupons should be tax receivable that
all expenses incurred or to be incurred in
connection with.the present negotiations, and
the settlement should be paid by the State,
and after the expiration of two years. No
bonds shall be funded by the State except
with the consent of the council of foreign
bondhoders. To these demands the legisla-
tive committee responded by saying in sub
stance that the propositions named were
wholly unsatisfactory and will be rejected by
the people.

THE EN- N A JANE.
A United States Steamship Under Orders
to Seize a Schooner.

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.
A Washington special to the Press says Ii
is learned that the United States steamship
Alliance, which left New York, November
last, under orders to join the South Atlantic
squadron of Rio Janeiro, by way of Medlter-
ranean and Cape of Good Hope, is under or
ders to seize the shooner Emma Jane OF
Gloucester, il found on high seas, or demand
her il she be found in neutral port, to make
prisoners Of her captain and crew, put the
prize crew on board and send her to United
States with her plunder The Alliance is
also ordered to seize, by force il necessary,
whatever belongings Of the schooner that
may be found on the island Of Johanna, one
of the Camera group of the coast of Mozam-
bique and Zanzibar.
government is informed that Emma Jane, af-
ter having been fitted out 10 the United
States as q whaler, was taken by her master
to the Island of Johanna, contrary to the
orders of her ow ner. and sold to Dr. Wilson,
former naval officer. 1t is charged that
Wilson employed her to carry sugar, and it 10
suspected, engaged her in slave trade. Moth
ing mas been received from the Alliance ex-
cept that she reached the Island of Johanna,
that her captain was well received, that DR..
Wilson assured him that he would do all in
his power to assist him in his mission and
that the last he, DIR. Wilson. had heard Of
the Emma Jane, was that she was seized At
Mauritus, as unseswo orthy sometime ago. II
does not appear that the Alliance has ~ yet
caught up with her.

day.

WBcAssEr, May 8.
The trial of Clark for the ,bootino NJ
uorves drew large crowd at the court room
today. Capt. Clark was on the stand pesrlv
all the forenoon. He testified to Grove,
threatening him several times and to his
coming to the house twice before the nigh,
OF the shooting and making a disturbance
lie gave an account of the shooting; that he
hred twice, once in the air and then a,
Groves.
Mrs. Groves, mother of the murdered
man, was on the stand and produced some
notes found on her sons person from his
divorced wife; one was for secret meeting
and cautioned him against being seen.
Drs. Brown and Cushman were the mos,
important witnesses in the afternoon. The
principal point was that they saw no glasl
broken from the window on the night of the
shooting and would have noticed it if it had
been broken. 1t appears that Clark admit
ted to DR.. Cushman indirectly that he knew
Groves that there was but one shot fred or
on that night.
Groves wife testified before the grand iury
that her father had threatened to shoot
Groves within year. He said that il
Groves came around again he would shoot
him.
The testimony il all in and the peadings

Steamer La Champagne Run Into and
Several Persons Drowned.
New YORK, NAV 8.

NEW YORK, May 8.
The steamer La Champagne was injured
by collision near Hsvre Saturday. She is
now lying on sand and mud bottom on
Arromanches beach, with two big holes in
her sides.
The exact loss of life is a matter of doubt
Several of those supposed to have been
drowned were afterwards resusitated. Sew
eral Americans were among the steamers
passengers. They behaved bravely and all
refused to 60 into the boats until the emigrant
women had been made safe. Some Ameri-
can naval cadets were also on board.
The Vile de Rio, the other boat in the
collision, had nine passengers, who, with the
crew, were taken off by the Vile de Bor
deaux, from Havre for Antilles. The Vile
de Rio was nearly split apart by the collision.
Her captain, Fouesnel, was the last 20 leave
the vessel,
The steamer La Bretagne, which arrived
in Havre last night from New York, collided
with and sank Norwegian bark off Barfieur
in very near the same spot where the other
collision occurred. The bark went down al
most instantly, but the crew were rescued
and taken aboard. The La Bretagne will
take the most of the delayed passengers of the
La Champagne to New York.

Thirty five bodies were recovered from the
wrecked Nanaimo mine yesterday.
A shovel was found on which was written
with chalk:
Thirteen hours, and now dying in misery
JOHN EvANL.
Evans was 22 years old. The writing
proves that the men or some of them, were
conscious thirteen hours after the explosion.
Some may have survived longer. All the
bodies were found IN No. level. The men
had come as far as the half way switch and
found cave in. They then went to work
with picks and shovels and bsrricaded the
passsge to shut out the after damp Then
they returned to the air shaft when the fire
damp caught them and all succumbed. They
had tried to bsrricade this passage also but
did not succeed.
The FIRE is now nearly under control and it
is hoped that all the bodies will be rescued
within few days. Eleven funerals occurred
yesterday.
